Coffee is a very popular drink. New research shows that aside from tasting good coffee may actually help you enjoy a healthier and longer life.
Researchers have said that drinking coffee may lead to living longer reports the University of Southern California. The association between drinking coffee and living a longer life has been seen with both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee and so the association does not seem to be due to caffeine.
There was an association found between drinking coffee and a decreased risk of death from cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease, kidney disease, stroke, and diabetes. This positive association was seen in Latinos, African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, and whites.

There was a 12 percent less likelihood of dying in people who drank a cup of coffee daily in comparison to people who did not drink coffee. This positive association between coffee drinking and a decreased chance of death rose to 18 percent in people who consumed two to three cups of coffee a day.
V. Wendy Setiawan, who was the senior author of the study and who is an associate professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, says there was lower mortality in coffee drinkers whether they drank regular or decaffeinated coffee and therefore the association does not appear to be due to caffeine.
Setiawan has said although it can not be said that consuming coffee will prolong your life, an association has been observed. This gives people who like drinking coffee a reason to feel good about that. This should also have people who do not drink coffee taking the time to give consideration to begining to drink coffee.
It has been reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine that research shows increased consumption of coffee has been found to be associated with decreased risk for death in Latinos, African Americans, Japanese Americans, and whites. This really is good news for coffee drinkers.
